ADW 2013 - Saturday

Saturday started off with the vintage car parade.

We had been invited to ride in a Studebaker, however upon arriving at the gathering point, we were informed that it had broken down. Luckily the UK Bentley club was on a tour of New Zealand and we were given a ride by a very lovely couple in their wonderful Bentley =D

Me and the Chap enjoying the parade.

Afterwards was the costume and coiffure competition. We were going to enter a couple, but were encouraged to enter the original section individually as well.

We got first and second respectively, so decided to give the couples a miss.

It later turned out I won best in show also!

Yes that is lipstick on his cheek ;)

We had sweet old ladies coming up to us and telling me "Ooh you watch out for those airmen!"

Well, they did have quite a reputation in their day! ;)

After the competition, food and a short moment to relax, it was time to get ready and hit the town again.

Our evening event consisted of dinner with a murder mystery magic show. I'm afraid I turned out to be the murderer!

About Me

A self taught seamstress, I enjoy reproducing art deco era fashions. I love all eras, but am particularly fond of the 30's, fashion, history, architecture, interiors, furniture...the list goes on and on. I enjoy knitting, sewing, cooking and generally learning and creating new things. I am endeavoring to work up to living a vintage inspired lifestyle and enjoying every minute of it! ;)
